The deadline for applications is the end of Monday 11 December 2023. Entrants will be notified if they have been successful by Monday 18 December 2023.
Selections will be made by a specialist panel made up of two members of Gosport Museum and Art Gallery staff with an art background and Hampshire Cultural Trust’s Exhibitions Manager . We will be looking for creativity, appeal and technique, and a variety of topics, media and styles will be considered for inclusion in the show.
There will be prizes awarded for Judges’ Choice and Junior Judges’ Choice for entrants 12-18. We will also be asking visitors to the exhibition to cast their vote for their favourite artwork both in the gallery and on social media to determine the winner of our Peoples’ Choice Award.
